If your image is black after screen capping, you need to turn down the video hardware opimization in Real Player down to zero so that overlays are not used. then you need to restart real player after making that change.

If it's still just black there may be an issue with your video card drivers.

But how do you do it.. I really mean step by step.. if you would not mind explaining, I have no idea what to do. I have gone into tools>Preferences>hardware> and the slid the video card capabilities bar all the way to the left (previously recomended) but how do I now take a "picture"?

I followed Waywyrd's advice and it's great
